Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Site sponsor TFsource dropped by to let us know of two new Takara Tomy Transformers Generations listing, TG-17 Blaster with Steeljaw and TG-18 Skywarp! Pre-order for each are available at the links below.

Takara Tomy just announced the following items now up for preorder at TFsource:

The Japanese doesn’t say anything that interesting. Just that the Blaster is using the US version coloring in the images, which will vary on the Japanese version. The Skywarp says the coloring will be like the skywarp colors shown in the illustration, but the form of the Starscream toy. Pretty obvious stuff… both set for a May release!

I wonder if they would consider a slight re-mold of the tail section. In WfC, Skywarp and Starscream had triangular tail except when turbo flying, when the tail would split to a Y. Thundercracker was the opposite with a Y tail and a triangle when turbo. It would be cool to see the Y tail configuration in one of the character toys...

OKay, I blame all of you who are buying this figure for the endless stream of repaints of various characters over the years. If you had actually demanded original molds for each character, we may not have an endless parade of repains...

..that being said...

...GIMME.

Why would anyone want an original mold when this is what he looks like in the games?

Um, all of their tailfins made a triangular shape when boosting in jet mode/split and angled in halves when hovering.

I'm virtually certain, in story mode at least, that Thundercracker was opposite. When I get home I'll see if I can take some screenshots.

WTF, why are the Japanese FOC toys so expensive? Arms Micron deluxes aren't so bad, but almost $40 for a FOC deluxe? That's ridiculous. I was going to preorder Skywarp until I saw that. And my local shop is charging the same. These import prices are getting ridiculous. Looks like my import days are over. I hope Hasbro gets their act together soon and starts releasing some of these characters.

Import prices or supply and demand? $40 might get some to purchase just one or a couple, rather than all 20 in stock at $15.

Just a thought... I know BBTS has a tendency to charge higher for the short-packed singles in a case.

Okay, I had a sec to play WfC tonite and take some pics. The first one as Starscream is all that is needed, but if you want, I can post pics of all 3 Seekers in both hover and boost flight modes.

I'm playing here as Starscream in the middle with Thundercracker on the left. I did get it backward. Starscream and Skywarp have split tails in hover and triangle when turbo, and Thundercracker is Triangle in hover and split in turbo.

All this to say that I'd love to see a split tail remold on a Thundercracker re-paint. It looks fairly easy to do.
